Sea transport from Thailand to Poland 

Najpopularniejszym rodzajem transportu z Tajlandii jest maritime transport. Wszystko ze względu na najbardziej korzystną ceną i dużą ładowność. Mamy możliwość nadania pełnych kontenerów FCL: 20DV, 40 DV, 40 HC oraz mniejszych ładunków drobnicowych LCL. Istnieje możliwość również wysyłki małych przesyłek. Wtedy takie ładunku consolidated są z kilkoma załadowcami i nadawane w jednym konterze. 

How long does it take to transport by sea from Thailand to Poland ? 

Shipping by sea from Thailand takes between 39 and 59 days depending on the service you choose.

Air transport from Thailand to Poland 

Air transport z Tajlandii jest najszybszą metodą na przetransportowanie towarów, jednak i również najdroższą. Czas transportu wynosi od 2 do 9 dni w zależności od serwisu, który wybierzemy.  Koszt transport liczony jest w kg, im więcej kg ładunku nadamy tym możemy liczyć na niższą ceną.  

Air transport rates are calculated per kilogram of cargo. However, there are occasions when cargo weighs very little and takes up a lot of space by volume. For this reason, airlines have adopted the principle of calculating payable weight and actual weight. If the weight of the cargo on 1 CBM exceeds 167 kg, the actual weight, i.e. how much the cargo actually weighs, is used. However, if, for example, the cargo weighs 100 kg and occupies 1 CBM, the weight will not be calculated from the actual weight, but from the payable weight, i.e. we will pay for 167 kg.  

In air transport, the larger the cargo we send, the better the rates we can count on. The rate per kilo of cargo when shipping 1,000 kg will be much lower than when shipping 100 kg. 

Rail transport from Thailand to Poland 

Transport kolejowy stanowi alternatywę dla konwencjonalnych środków transportu towarów z Tajlandii do Polski. Mimo braku bezpośrednich połączeń kolejowych między tymi dwoma krajami, istnieje interesująca opcja przewozu towarów do Chin, na przykład do Chongqingu, skąd kursują bezpośrednie pociągi towarowe do Europy. Taka forma transportu może być korzystna dla przedsiębiorców, którzy pragną skorzystać z zalet transportu rail, takich jak skrócony czas dostawy w porównaniu do transportu morskiego oraz niższe koszty w porównaniu do transportu lotniczego.

Organising rail transport from Thailand to Poland can be somewhat more logistically complex than traditional modes of transport. Nevertheless, many transport companies offer comprehensive logistics services and can assist in organising this type of transport. Entrepreneurs should also take into account the time needed to transship goods in China and possible delays due to various factors, such as weather conditions or the load on rail terminals. Despite these issues, rail transport can be an attractive option for entrepreneurs looking for alternative transport solutions from Thailand to Poland.

How long does it take to get from Thailand to Poland by rail? 

The duration of rail transport from Thailand to Poland ranges from 14 to 27 days, depending on the date of shipment and the selected transport service.
